Many Versions of Truth

Sheriff’s deputies discovered about $20,000 worth of marijuana and a fake hand grenade when they raided a rural home in Washington County, Nebraska.

If you were to just take this story at face value, you’d probably just leave the story with the assumption that two evil people are now behind bars while their poor children are being properly looked after. Read it and tell me what YOU think.

Nebraska — Detective Kevin Willis said an anonymous tip led to the arrest of a 33-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman Wednesday. They were booked into the Washington County Jail on suspicion of possessing and manufacturing marijuana.

Three children, ages 3, 10 and 12 were placed in foster care.

Deputies went to an apartment above a barn several miles outside of Herman, Neb., at 2:30 p.m., Willis said. There they discovered “a significant” growing operation that included dozens of plants under grow lights as well as many more “hanging up to dry.”

During the search, officers came upon a grenade attached to a wall just below knee-level height.

“The grenade startled us a little,” Willis said. “It’s something we’re trained to look for, but you never know what you are going to find.”

Officers stopped the search and requested help from the Omaha Police Department’s bomb squad and the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Explosive experts determined that the grenade was not live.

“This isn’t the largest marijuana operation we’ve uncovered here in Washington County, but it was significant,” Willis said.

This is the only version of truth I could find about this poor couple. But, after reading THOUSANDS of stories just like this one, and personally following HUNDREDS of incidents like these, let me tell you what I assume to be the most likely scenerio.

One of these two (or both) probably have a very bad chronic condition that requires they use medical marijuana.  In the meantime, one of their boys plays with Army toys and tape. Now, as a result, they have lost their house, their children, and probably much more before it’s all over with. You can figure out the rest.

When you read stories like this, look past the obvious yellow journalism and try to see into the heart of what you to to be the “TRUTH”. Because the victor is the one who writes the history book, the book is almost always wrong.
